The games they play~

[mad_asahatter]

*Ophelia had taken to hunting. What she was hunting, few people would know, but she was hunting. With mud covering her clothes and skin, pieces of twig and grass in her hair and stains on her knees, it was evident that the girl had been in the wilderness for some time

*Edie was wandering back to camp after her conversation with Remy. Hearing someone muttering she looked around trying to locate Ophelia. Glancing up, she found said women, up a tree.*

Hey there.

[mad_asahatter]

Greetings.

*Ophelia smiled down at Edie, coming a touch down her tree.*

Have you seen Bric? Ophelia thinks it's all a trick. Run and hide, come to play. But she doesn't get why he never can stay.

[blazing_touch]

Whose Bric? *She laughed.*

[mad_asahatter]

Bric-a-brac, my Bric-a-brac.

*Of course Ophelia just expected people to know who she was talking about, her nicknames making sense to her and as such they should've made sense to all.*

Tall and roguish, boyish gleams. Moves the earth, doesn't really do well on teams.

[canidazzleyou]

You lost something?

{Alison had been watching the redhaired girl as she moved around, muttering something under her breath and clearly in search of something.

Although her appearance left something to be desired, Alison figured it could just be that she'd lost something very important.}

[mad_asahatter]

She has, she has.

*Ophelia called back, sighing heavily and gracelessly falling from the tree with a 'oomph' before climbing to her feet and plodding over to the blond.*

Are you hiding him? That's not nice. Can't steal him, she says, you'd have to pay his price!

*Ophelia glared slightly, before sensing the waves of confusion from the girl, her emotions exceptionally easy to read. This one didn't have him, wasn't hiding him. Ophelia warmed instantly, the bubbly happy sense of the girl making her smile.*

Oh, so joyous, so joyous. How nice of you to join us.

{The way she spoke was a little strange, in fact, everything about her was a little strange. But Alison had seen stranger in New York, and boy was that fun.

Smiling back at the girl, she just nodded.}

Well, when the offer came, couldn't find a decent reason to say no.

{Of course she could. She didn't want to go to Africa, she didn't want to admit she was a mutant. But she wanted to sing more than anything. Stepping stones, she told herself.}

I'm Alison, call me Dazzler if you want.

{She held out a hand to the girl, expecting a shake.]

[mad_asahatter]

Ophelia, she says, it is her name. Reading you, and your feelings, that is her game.

*Ophelia took Alison's hand and did shake it, three times before twirling under it and then bowing. It was easy to let go of the thoughts of finding her lost item for now, Dazzler's nature and feelings soothing out the apprehension for now.*

Can't be here for malice and pain, must be for your own gain. What's the price they pay to see, just what your dreams may be?

*Molly was in a good mood. A better one since arriving. While it seemed a bit insane and possibly forward at the time, telling Chris he could stay with her til his damaged tent was repaired or replaced had been a delightful idea. He was sweet and she loved talking to him.

She was on her way from her tent to the mess tent to get something to eat when she spotted the woman. What the hell had happened there? Molly made her way over, concerned.*

Are you alright, miss?

[mad_asahatter]

Alright, alright. Everything gets too bright. Finding a stone on a pebble beach, or at least looking for a bright little peach.

*Ophelia soaked up Molly's mood, completely loosing her worry and frustration over her failed hunt.*

Looking she is, have you see it?

[seesitall]

*Oh, my. This one was definitely interesting. Bradley had told her the mix of people was rather eclectic.* I'm sorry. I don't know that I've seen whatever it is you're searching for. Particularly since I've no clue what that is.

[mad_asahatter]

Bric-a-Brac, tall and roguish. He's lost or missing, she can only wish. Runs away, but not today. Ophelia must say, he's got to stay.

*She pouted a little, remembering her dilemma and the missing part of the camp. It was a pain to her, to think he'd vanished again. But she hadn't heard about missions or the like.*
